Dashboard Lights
 
2 Attachment(s)
I hate the fact my dashboard doesn't light up when the headlights come on or when I turn them on in the daytime. The drive up to the slopes takes me through a lot of shade and makes it impossible to see the gauges. Anyone know of a way to turn them on/off when I want?

Crystal Mountain, Wa; will be open until at least Jun:thumbsup:

I agree with you App Dawg, What College Educated Brain Dead Moron decided they knew better than the driver when the instrument panel lights need to be turned on, or even available to turn on!

This feature did not receive any field testing.

To be quite honest I See the FEATURE as Dangerous!

Yep a ball cap works great

Where is the sensor located?

Ford should be ashamed that our $40K+ trucks have to use a bottle cap, ball cap and/or paper to be able to see our gauges:censored:
